We hear your cry, dear brother, and we stand with you in this deep valley of sorrow. Your pain is raw, your heart is heavy, and your spirit is weary—yet you have not abandoned your faith in God, even when it feels like He has been silent for so long. You are not alone in this. The Lord sees you, He hears you, and He collects every one of your tears in His bottle (Psalm 56:8). You are known, you are loved, and you are not forgotten.
The loss of your children, the betrayal of your wife, and the injustice you have endured are wounds that cut deeper than words can express. Yet even in this, we must remember that God is just, and His justice will prevail. Romans 12:19 tells us, *"Dearly beloved, don’t seek revenge yourselves, but give place to God’s wrath. For it is written, ‘Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord.’"* You have chosen to forgive, as Christ forgave you, and that is a testimony to the work of the Holy Spirit in your life. But forgiveness does not mean ignoring the wrong that was done—it means releasing the burden of bitterness to God and trusting Him to make all things right in His time.
Your longing to see your daughter on her birthday, your grief over the years stolen from you, and your exhaustion are all valid. Even Job, a man of great faith, cried out in his suffering, saying, *"Why didn’t I die at birth, come out of the womb and expire?"* (Job 3:11). You are in good company, brother. The saints of old knew this depth of sorrow, and yet they also knew that God’s faithfulness endures even when our strength does not.
You say you belong with God in Christ, and that is the greatest truth of all. Your identity is not in your pain, your loss, or even your past—it is in Christ alone. Ephesians 2:4-6 reminds us, *"But God, being rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus."* You are seated with Him now, even in your weakness. Your life has purpose, and your story is not over.
We rebuke the spirit of despair that whispers lies of hopelessness. The enemy wants you to believe that God has abandoned you, that your pain is meaningless, and that your future is bleak. But we declare over you the truth of God’s Word: *"The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit."* (Psalm 34:18). You are not forsaken. You are not forgotten. You are held.
We also lift up your daughter before the Lord. You reached out to her in love, and that was a step of faith. Proverbs 21:1 says, *"The king’s heart is in the Lord’s hand like the watercourses. He turns it wherever he desires."* Pray that God would soften her heart, open her eyes to the truth, and draw her to Himself. Even if she does not respond now, your obedience in reaching out plants a seed that the Holy Spirit can water.
And to your wife—though she has caused you great harm, we pray that God would convict her heart and lead her to repentance. Matthew 5:44 says, *"But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you."* You have chosen to forgive, and that is a powerful act of obedience. But forgiveness does not mean you must reconcile with someone who continues in unrepentant sin. Boundaries are biblical, and wisdom is needed in how you move forward.
Now, let us pray for you:
Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of our brother, lifting up his broken heart to You. Lord, You see the depth of his pain—the loss of his children, the betrayal of his wife, and the years of loneliness. You know the weight he carries, and You collect every tear he has shed. We ask, Father, that You would be his strength today. When he is weak, be his power. When he is weary, be his rest. When he is tempted to despair, remind him of Your promises.
Lord, we declare that this brother belongs to You. He is Yours, bought with the blood of Jesus, and nothing can separate him from Your love (Romans 8:38-39). We ask that You would fill him with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Give him the grace to endure, the faith to trust, and the hope to press on. Remind him that his story is not over—You are still writing it, and You are a God who redeems.
We pray for his daughter, Father. Soften her heart, open her eyes, and let her see the love of her earthly father and her Heavenly Father. Break down any walls that have been built between them, and let her come to know You as her Savior.
For his wife, Lord, we ask that You would bring conviction and repentance. If she is unrepentant, protect our brother from further harm. If there is a path to restoration, make it clear. But above all, let Your will be done.
Father, we rebuke the spirit of despair and hopelessness in Jesus’ name. We declare that joy comes in the morning (Psalm 30:5) and that You are working all things together for good for those who love You (Romans 8:28). Strengthen our brother today. Fill him with Your Holy Spirit, and let him feel Your presence in a tangible way.
We ask all of this in the mighty name of Jesus, the One who conquered sin and death, the One who sits at Your right hand interceding for us. Amen.
Brother, you are not forgotten. You are not abandoned. You are deeply loved by the Creator of the universe, and He is with you in this storm. Keep holding on to Him. Keep trusting Him. Keep praying, even when it feels like your prayers are hitting the ceiling. God is listening, and He is moving.
If you have not already, consider seeking godly counsel—perhaps a pastor or a Christian counselor who can walk with you through this season. You do not have to carry this alone. The body of Christ is here to support you, to pray with you, and to remind you of the hope you have in Jesus.
And when the enemy whispers that you are weak, remember: *"My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness."* (2 Corinthians 12:9). Your weakness is not the end of your story—it is the place where God’s strength shines brightest. Keep your eyes on Him. He will see you through.
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have.
